Wikipedia reported: "Three of the victims were under the age of 13 and three ranged in age from 13 to 15. Rachael Denhollander, a former gymnast with USA Gymnastics, said in court in May 2017 that Nassar sexually abused her on five doctor's visits in 2000, when she was 15 years of age. Raisman stated that Nassar also molested her when she was 15 years of age. On November 17 (a few days before she made her allegation), Gabby Douglas drew criticism from fellow Olympic teammate Simone Biles and others for making a tweet that they interpreted as criticizing Raisman and of "victim-shaming," stating that "dressing in a provocative/sexual way incites the wrong crowd."[13] Douglas later apologized for the tweet, insinuating that she had also been abused by Nassar."

One hundred twenty-five reported victims, or their parents, as well as other acts victims were allowed to give victim impact statements at the sentencing hearing.

IN SUPPORT OF COMPLAINT
Case No: District: Circuit:
THE COMPLAINING WITNESS, ON INFORMATION AND BELIEF, SAYS:
1. I, Affiant Detective Sergeant (D/Sgt.) Andrea Munford (Affiant), am currently employed with the Michigan State University Police Department in East Lansing, Michigan and have been for 20 years. I am currently assigned to the Special Victims Unit and investigate sexual assaults.
2. On August 29, 2016, I began a CSC investigation involving a former gymnast, Victim C, who reported being sexually assaulted by MSU Sports Medicine Dr. Lawrence Gerard Nassar. Prior to reporting to the police, Victim C participated in an interview with the Indy Star after reading an article they published about the cover up by USA Gymnastics of coaches that sexually abuse gymnasts. On September 12, 2016, the Indy Star and Lansing State Journal published an article which included Victim C’s story as well as information provided by two victims that chose to remain anonymous.
3. Shortly after the article published, I began receiving phone calls from additional victims reporting Nassar had sexually assaulted them. The investigation, at the time of drafting this Affidavit for Search Warrant, includes 81 victims with reports of similar details of how they were assaulted.
4. As a result of the above-mentioned news stories, the MSU P.D. was contacted by the below-referenced Victims A, B, D, E, F, G (or their parents), who reported that they were also sexually abused by Dr. Larry Nassar while he treated them at either the MSU Sports medicine clinic offices or after-hours at his home in Holt, Michigan.
5. Defendant Lawrence Gerard “Larry” Nassar is a former associate professor at Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Nassar was also the lead doctor for the USA women’s gymnastics team during four Olympic Games and has been affiliated with the national organization for approximately thirty years. He also was a clinician seeing patients at the MSU Sports Medicine Clinic and served as the team physician for the MSU women’s gymnastics team, women’s crew team, and for a local gymnastics club, Gedderts’ Twistars Gymnastics Club in Dimondale, Michigan. In the fall of 2016, MSU fired Nassar, relieving him of all of his academic, clinical and patient duties.
6. Victim A is now 16 years old and was forensically interviewed by law enforcement on September 21, 2016. Throughout her gymnastics career, Victim A sustained various injuries and was treated by Defendant multiple times, including at his sports medicine clinic office and at Gedderts’ Twistars Gymnastics Club.
7. Victim A disclosed that she was 10 years old the first time she was sexually assaulted by Nassar. At Twistars, Nassar would come on Monday nights to treat the gymnasts. Nassar would use the back room at the gym to work. This particular Monday, Victim A signed up to see Nassar. Nassar was to readjust

her ribs. While pressing on her back, Nassar pulled her leotard up and touched her vagina. Victim A stated Nassar’s bare hand and fingers went “in between the flaps” of her vagina. Victim A stated she felt “grossed out”. Nassar did not wear gloves, did not tell her he would be vaginally penetrating her nor did he obtain consent from either Victim A or Victim A’s parents.
8. Victim A was also treated by Nassar at his clinic at MSU, where on at least one occasion when she was under the age of 13, Nassar penetrated her vagina with his ungloved fingers.At age 11, near her 12th birthday, Victim A sustained a foot injury and saw Nassar at his office. Victim A’s father accompanied her to the appointment. At the start of the visit, Victim A’s father and a MSU student were in the treating room. Nassar explained that a leg massage would help her foot. Nassar had the MSU student leave and told Victim A’s father that the massage would take time. Victim A’s father stepped out into the waiting room.
9. Victim A stated Nassar had her change into baggy shorts. As she laid on the treating table, Nassar massaged her calf and thighs. He then put his hand on her inner thigh, close to her vagina. Victim A stated before she knew it, Nassar had his fingers in her vagina. He also was touching really hard on her clitoris. Victim A described that Nassar being really sweaty and into it. Victim A also remembers Nassar putting a lot of hand sanitizer on his hands and wiping it away. He did not wear gloves.
10. Victim A saw him three more times with her mother. With her mother present, Nassar did not sexually assault her. Victim A stated that Nassar followed her and other gymnasts on social media. Victim A stated she and the other gymnasts would talk about Nassar. They would discuss how he was “touchy”. At the time, Victim A did not question Nassar because he was doing the same to other gymnasts she knew. Victim A stated that because she was so young, she really didn’t know anything was wrong.
11. On September 15, 2016, I received a phone call from Victim B’s mother, who stated her daughter, a gymnast, was a patient of Nassar. Victim B saw Nassar in the spring of 2011 for back related injuries she suffered as gymnast. At the time, Victim B was 11 years old.
12. According to her mother, Victim B saw Nassar for five appointments at his office, MSU Sports Medicine Clinic. Each appointment would last 45 minutes to an hour. Nassar would assess Victim B’s back motion. Nassar told Victim B to lie on her stomach on the treating table. He would pull her shorts to the side and say “I’m going to massage you now.” Nassar never told Victim B’s mother that he was touching or penetrating Victim B’s genitalia and no consent was given. Her mother would be the only person present in the room. There was never a nurse present. Victim B’s mother stated that Nassar was always facing away from her so she could not see much of him.
13. Victim B, who is now 17, was interviewed by MSU PD. She stated that all of her appointments with Nassar were at the end of the day when no one else was in his office. During the appointments, she would be wearing a shirt, bra, and underwear. Victim B stated her mother would sit in front of her. Nassar would massage her buttocks, hamstrings, and IT bands. As Nassar massaged Victim B, he would put his fingers in her vagina and thumb in her anus. Victim B stated that one time, he “wiggled” his finger in her vagina. Nassar would penetrate her vagina and anus during the entire appointment, which was about a half hour. Victim B was under the age of 13 at the time of each of these assaults. Victim B stated Nassar did not wear gloves and used cream to put on his fingers. This occurred at each appointment. Nassar never told her he was going to penetrate her. On her last appointment with Nassar, he gave her a green MSU leotard. Victim B believes it was because Nassar “felt guilty”.

Victim D and her mother were never told by Nassar that he would be vaginally penetrating her nor did they consent.
22. Victim D stated Nassar often made her uncomfortable. Nassar always massaged her feet and cracked her toes. Victim D told Nassar she didn’t like it, but he continued.

Once the allegations were made public, Victim D told her mother what happened. Victim D is still competing as a high level gymnast and considered Defendant an authority figure.
